Section of south El Dorado closed

STOCKTON - Bad weather has pushed back road construction in south Stockton, which means a section of El Dorado Street will be closed in the daytime through Monday.

El Dorado Street will be closed to traffic from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Monday, on a stretch of road between French Camp Road and McKinley Avenue.

The closure is to allow the building of temporary structures needed to build a bridge on El Dorado Street along Sperry Road. The bridge is part of a long-sought after major connecting road between Highway 99 and Interstate 5 south of the Crosstown Freeway.

Closures were meant to start last week and wrap up by Thursday. But the recent series of storms changed that, with officials planning to extend the work time out into next week.
